Description
The Cinnamon Dove, Aplopelia larvata, is a medium-sized dove from mostly cool mountain forests of Africa, although in a few places such as Cameroon and on some islands it occurs down to sea level. It is very rarely seen in South Africa. It usually walks on the ground in the shady understory of the forest, picking up seeds and berries that have fallen from trees and bushes. Watercolour.

I think what I'm always most impressed with in your paintings is your fantastic use of colour and lighting. With so many of your works I mistake them for photos in thumbnail, just because you got the shading and lightning down so incredibly well. I'm not sure if it was your intention, but this particular painting has always looked to me like a photo actually taken somewhere deep in a rainforest with flash. Not sure why, maybe the bright colours on the pigeon and the apparent 'shadow' in the background? Anyway, once again a great job done on bringing such a beautiful bird to life
